In Memoriam Inge Hofmann- Weber

It is with deepest sorrow that Fritz Hofmann would like to share the news of the passing of his and Peter’s beloved mother Inge at the age of ninety-two. She was a much cherished presence in her sons’ lives and will be deeply missed. Fritz writes:

(It has become endlessly lonely without you. There is so much more I want to say to you, but the sorrow has made it almost impossible. My thoughts are always with you. Your smile was unforgettably wonderful and will remain with us forever. Never did you lose your your unique sense of humor or your poetry. Your friendly, helpful presence is unforgettable. You will live on forever in my heart.)

Other friends have posted condolences and tributes on Fritz’ Facebook page. Among them is this beautiful tribute from soprano Anna Maria Kaufmann and from Sony exeutive Jochen Leuschner:

My deepest sympathy goes to Fritz Hofmann, brother and manager of the late Peter Hofmann for the loss of his most charming beautiful wonderful mother!!!!May she rest in peace in heaven with her son Peter Hofmann!

(Your mother Inge was ninety-two. I knew her almost fifty years. She was strong and full of life; she shared her her sense of humor every day with her family. She accompanied her son Peter in his huge success with gratitude and humility, and in the difficult years of Peter’s illness, she never lost her positive attitude or respect for life. I have ties to the Hofmanns , having shared with them huge successes, great memories, unforgettable moments. They were a very special family for me, especially Inge’s unique sense of humor and that of her sons. I wish the family strength in their mourning and wish Inge’s optimism, strength, and love of life to continue to shine in the future through her son Fritz and will give joy and hope to many.)

My deepest sympathy goes to Fritz Hofmann, brother and manager of the late Peter Hofmann for the loss of his most charming beautiful wonderful mother!!!!
May she rest in peace in heaven with her son Peter Hofmann!

Im so sorry to hear of your loss, Fritz. You were a wonderful son and devoted your life to taking care of your mother in her last years. She was such a beautiful youthful person who never seemed to age. She was also brave as she faced losing her son Peter to a dreadful disease. Now they are together again in Wahlhall. Much love to you, Fritz, Jeannine

Translation:
When children have such a mother, they can be very proud, just as you, Inge could be proud of your sons. The greatest admiration for your son Fritz who unsparingly and lovingly was your companion in your last years. Inge, you were a person that one could only love, full of goodness, charm, and humor. You will never be forgotten!
